QUALCOMM 2002 ANNUAL REPORT PAGE 25
COMMERCIAL MILESTONES THIS YEAR
VERIZON WIRELESS. North America’s largest
wireless operator now offers more than 100
BREW™applications via its nationwide service
called “Get It NowSM.” Five manufacturers are
currently providing phones to the network and
four gpsOne-enabled devices are planned.
KTF. After just one year of offering BREW services,
KTF achieved significant results in South Korea,
attracting more than 2.2 million subscribers
and seeing dramatic increases in revenues. KTF
maintains a current catalog of approximately 350
applications. Twenty-four BREW-enabled phones
are currently offered.
KDDI. Japan’s second largest wireless operator
counts over 2 million subscribers as of
November 2002 to its “eznavigation” service,
which includes a BREW gpsOne application.
CHINA UNICOM. The second largest wireless
operator in China will offer BREW to a portion of
its subscriber base. The operator also signed a
joint venture agreement with QUALCOMM to sup-
port the domestic BREW developer community
and manage the applications they produce.
QCHAT™ON THE HANDSET. Promising the first
CDMA-based push-to-talk service, QChat soft-
ware allows communications without actually
making a standard wireless call. QUALCOMM’s
unique BREW-enabled solution will allow
users to initiate private (one-to-one) calls as
well as group (one-to-many) calls.
QUALCOMM and Nextel Communications
entered into an agreement for the development
and deployment of a direct connect product
for global wireless operators using CDMA
networks. When deployed, CDMA users will
have the iDEN®interoperability necessary for
Nextel’s Direct Connect™service.
ENTERPRISE APPLICATIONS. Among the
business applications taking advantage of
BREW-enabled handsets is OmniOne™
, the
digital wireless communications system that
provides a flexible, low-cost way for large
trucking and logistics companies to extend
their fleet management solutions to affiliates,
partners and owner/operators.
ALLTEL BREW. Adding to the momentum in
the U.S. for color screen devices, ALLTEL
launched BREW service in some markets with
the Toshiba CDM-9500 color phone. ALLTEL is
also offering the Kyocera 3035 BREW phone to
its subscribers. More than 30 BREW applications
are currently available across the two phones.
BREW DRIVES FUTURE 3G GROWTH
The combination of 3G high-speed data networks and the growing portfolio of BREW applications
presents a powerful formula for enabling wireless operators to attract customers in both consumer
and enterprise markets.
